The huipil is most often constructed of two back strap-woven panels sewn together. Traditional features of Comalapa huipiles include the "creya" (a red weft-faced shoulder stripe), stylized bird and animal motifs, the "rupaj plato", (a stylized diamond shape representing a ceremonial plate), horizontal multi-colored separator stripes and bands of small checkerboard-like figures at the bottom of the brocading. Modern huipiles from Comalapa and Tecpan often feature elaborate marcador floral and bird motifs. While perhaps originally inspired by cross-stitch pattern books, local artists now draw the weaver's marcador design guides on graph paper. Some designs and color schemes obviously show the influence of the expensive, "status symbol", San Antonio Aguas Calientes huipil.

The large ceremonial sobrehuipil is worn over another huipil without putting the arms through the tiny decorative armholes. Cofradía members often use the sobrehuipil folded on the head as a sunshade, or turned inside out to protect it from the sun for daily use.

The morga, or denim-like traditional skirt, of "indigo-blue" with white-pinstripes has virtually disappeared, having been replaced by the popular non-village specific, double-jaspe corte.

As in most communities, Comalapa traditional daily male traje is disappearing. Elements of the dress include a white cotton shirt and trousers, ponchito [woolen apron], and a sash similar to the old-style woman's belt, in the predominantly pink and multi-color stripe pattern typical to the central Kaqchikel region. In addition, cofrades have a ceremonial traje that includes a jacket, a sobrepantalon rajado (split over-trousers made of black wool), a capa (large cloak made of wool), and a pañuelo (kerchief).
